I just want to add, rather than defending the racists, maybe the people who are not racist should try to separate themselves from the racists. At first, embracing the racists adds power, because it is more people on your side. But over time, it makes people think you are all racists.
Where is all the hatred coming from?

you do realize that atheists committed mass shootings at both Christian churches and Jewish synagogues within the last three years, right?........
The American conservative political philosophy...has become one of the most disgusting political philosophies ever to pollute planet Earth.
I suspect that has some bearing on what you are asking.
It is not more complicated than that, Walt.

Most of the "racist conservatives" on this site are poseurs.
Yes, I was thinking sock too... he is at the same level of stupidity as Katzguts.
One thing people in places like Wyoming gets right about people like me is I rarely think about them. I don't do business with them. I don't talk to them. I actually come to debate groups like this to try to make some contact with them.
What they get wrong is when they think I hate them. I literally wish them all the best. I worry that all the tax money I am sending them is hurting them, but do not want to cut their tax money to hurt them. None of this is out of hatred.
When I look at them dying in such numbers, I am honestly concerned. I have dealt with drug addicts before, and they certainly seem like drug addicts (either figuratively or many times literally). Giving them whatever they demand is not helping them. There are many reasons they are dying, but all trace back to poor personal decisions.
As a Jewish person being forced to celebrate Christmas by my children, I have to say that is nonsense. Christmas is in rude health, and is not being attacked. Maybe the religious nature of Christmas is being attacked, but conservatives do not want to publicly take that position.

Or women either, for that matter. Things were so much better for the Reichwingers back in the (18)50s, when women and non-whites knew their places.
Indeed.
It's endlessly fascinating to me how the rage-filled Reichwingers always attribute rage and hate towards those who point out that they are often very angry, hateful ppl. You can extrapolate that to any statements a leftie makes showing displeasure with some aspect of America and/or American life. Point out a racist statement by IMPOTUS? You're so ANGRY! Point out police brutality? You're so ANGRY! Point out that women *still* make less than men doing the same job... you're so ANGRY!
They haven't managed to evolve since the 1960s "America -- Love It or Leave It" bumper sticker days, have they?
Glad to see that you agree that Christmas is attacked every Christmas by atheists.
In all these years of the desperate battles in the War on Christmas, the only "attacks" I've seen so far are those who complain that it is far too commercialized and is less religious and more consumerism. Both left and right make these complaints.
I'm curious about your statement "forced to celebrate Christmas." How are you being forced? I'm not Xtian either, yet haven't felt that I was "forced to celebrate" it, or Easter, or other Xtian holidays.

They have, for many, many years, been sold the notion that by hard work they can all become millionaires under American capitalism, and, in general, their living standards are not in fact advancing but, if anything, retreating. Over the same period, as over here, there has been a very determined campaign to destroy the unions and any sort of class politics. As a result, all these people feel, correctly, that they have been fooled and treated with contempt, and the people who have done that tell them it is all the fault of 'liberals'. So there is developing a vacuous form of class conflict where the exploited simply score off others and believe that makes them feel better, the typical behaviour of self-contemptuous bullies everywhere. Ah well, trumpf and brexit. Serves us right for being happy!
To the barricades, workers of the world unite, America hating sock.
